Preamble

We understand that your information is personal and private to you, and we seek to protect that information. We may collect and use some of that information, but when we do, it is only to provide the specific service that Vodo provides. This policy is guidance for what information we use and how we use that information.

Vodo is currently a preview and beta service.

1. What information do you collect?

We get your public information from your profile on Google. This includes your name, profile photo, and email address.

As part of the interaction with Google Drive, you will permit us access to specific files. We only have access to those files. The list of your Google Drive files are NOT available to us - they are displayed to you directly by Google.

We may also collect some web tracking information, which we use to see how many people are using the site and how we can improve usage.

2. How do you collect the information?

Your personal information comes from Google accounts every time you log in or connect.

Google Drive files are available to us when you make any request of Vodo.

Web tracking information is done using a service such as Google Analytics, which may use several different methods.

3. How do you use the information?

Files, and metadata about these files, remain only briefly on our servers, and are used only as part of the primary job of Vodo. We may log some of the metadata in an effort to assist with debugging and making sure Vodo works as expected, but this is not generally associated with your account.

Your personal information, including your name and profile photo, are used to provide you with good experience, and make it better to use Vodo. They also help you make sure that you're using Vodo as you and not, accidentally, as someone else. We do not keep information about your Google Drive files in Vodo - instead, we may attach metadata to these files that are used when accessing them through Vodo.

Web tracking information is used in aggregate, and intended to help us make sure the website is used and how it can be used more effectively.

We do not sell your information or sell access to you based on information you have provided to us. The information we provide to others (including Google) may, however, be used by them for such purposes, and this use is outside of our control.

Your information and files are NOT provided by us to Google AI models, or AI models from any other company, for use in training future models.

4. What control do I have over my personal data?

For the data that is public from your Google profile, you may make it private or change it, and on your next login to Vodo we will remove old data from our system.

At any time, you may de-authorize Vodo to have access to your Google account. If you do so, we will no longer be able to access your files on Google Drive.

Through the Files tab on Vodo, you may remove permission for us to access a specific file. This removes our metadata from the file, and we will no longer access that file.

5. How do you protect my information?

As much as possible, we try to protect your information by not actually storing it ourselves. Where necessary, your information is stored in a database with limited access. Some Vodo data is attached directly as metadata on the files in Google Drive and is only available to us.

6. How will you update this policy?

If we update this privacy policy, it will be posted on the Vodo website. We may also email you with a notice.
